Honestly, I just rewatched the whole anime. And I think the I think it was the better done ending. Yeah, VIRM was rushed and should have been introduced earlier if they were going to do it, but I think the space part was ok and I love watching the civilization develop back on earth while Hiro and 002 drift.
damn, 60 chapters? i haven't even watched darling in the FranXX but damn it feels hella rushed. Good ending but, the fight seems so, easy? what was the point of the giant baby? if 001 was gonna die easily why the fight? i feel like there isn´t a lot of development in hiro and 002 relationship.
